Historic ticket sales record for sport shows in the country. Over 50,000 tickets for the ceremonies and sporting competitions of the largest multi-sport event in the Americas have already been sold in just two days.
The high interest of the public in attending the Pan American Games, to be held for the first time in Peru, made them buy their tickets immediately at different points of sale.
According to a report from Ticketmaster-Teleticket, around 35,00 tickets were sold through the Lima 2019 website, while 15,000 were sold in the different points sales located around Lima.
Tickets for each ceremony and preliminary event of the Pan American Games start at PEN 20.00 and for final competitions, at PEN 30.00. There will be a 50% discount for children under 18, senior citizens and people with an impairment.
Tickets can be bought in ten Lima 2019-authorized points of sale around the city. Tickets can also be purchased online through the official website www.lima2019.pe.
As for e-tickets, printing will no longer be necessary since spectators can show their e-tickets on their mobile phones at the entrance of the sports venue.
To ensure ticket sales and venue access control comply with the highest international standards for such an important event, the Lima 2019 Organizing Committee has chosen two world-leading partners: Teleticket and Ticketmaster. The combined work of these companies will guarantee a world-class service and create added value for the Games.
